10 minutes · Steady rhythm
First strumming rhythm
A simple down-strum pattern you can play while the house is quiet.
G
Tonight's plan
- 1Hold G and strum down on beats 1, 2, 3, 4.
- 2Count out loud — whisper if you need to.
- 3Keep volume low for five minutes.
- 4Add a pause on beat 3 for the last two minutes.
Listen for
Even spacing between strums — not speed.
Small win
Four steady counts without rushing.
Next step
Try the same rhythm on Em tomorrow.
